The sound of artillery and the sound of gunfire are completely different things. The battlefield is so chaotic. If you are not afraid when you hear the sound of gunfire, it can only be said that you are not afraid. If you are not afraid when you hear the sound of cannon, that is the formal transformation from a recruit to a veteran.
But there is a saying that does not mean that new recruits are afraid of cannons and veterans are afraid of guns. Once the recruits grow into veterans and fight several battles, they will understand this sentence.
The Japanese invaded and formed a triangle formation. This offensive formation was deeply ingrained in the Japanese army. When advancing, they maintained the triangle formation. When they launched an attack on the Chinese positions, they formed a skirmish line formation.
The attacks were arranged in skirmish lines, one line after another, like rising tide waves, and the attacks continued without interruption, exhausting the defenders until their positions were captured by the Japanese.
The Japanese army in front of them did not know that the enemy was ambushing the house in front of them. The way they advanced was that three people formed a triangle. This method could cause one-time killing with anti-personnel weapons.
"Just wait, you will experience Japanese artillery fire." Xia Yuan smiled and waved to the scholar behind him.
"Brother Xia, get ready!" The scholar looked up at half of the collapsed house. Rainwater fell in from the collapsed house and soaked half of the house.
The mortar adjusted its angle and aimed at a group of Japanese troops in the distance.
Under the flickering artillery fire, the Japanese soldiers wore raincoats and their helmets were gleaming with rainwater, stepping on the muddy road and advancing along the broken streets.
Boom! A dull, crisp collision sound came from the grenade in the scholar's hand, dragging an arc of artillery shells through the night of the collapsed houses and landing on the side of the Japanese army. It did not hit the target, and the explosion occurred
The power still killed two Japanese soldiers.
Everyone was overjoyed. Platoon leader Zhao immediately pulled the trigger, and the crooked machine gun sprayed flames. Click, click, click, and burst bullets flew into the Japanese army. The bodies of two Japanese soldiers were beaten into pieces on the spot, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers hurriedly evaded.
, between the houses directly in front, the muzzle of a Type 38 rifle exuded a cold color, bullets flew out, and a Japanese soldier fell to the ground.
"Retreat, retreat!"
"Baga! We were attacked by the Chinese, attacked in the belly, attacked in the belly!"
The Japs yelled, abandoned the wounded, and retreated in a panic. However, the surviving Japs squad leader was horrified to find that the soldiers around him fell one by one. Even those who were hiding behind the bunker and having their heads pop out slightly were all killed.
A precise penetration caused the helmet on his head to be blown away.
"Sharpshooter!"
The Japanese squad leader immediately became frightened and shouted: "The Chinese have sharpshooters! Don't take the lead! Baga!"
"Stop!" Xia Yuan ordered to stop shooting, and the gunfire suddenly stopped.
The four surviving Japanese soldiers huddled in the ruins and shivered, not daring to expose their bodies. They fell to the ground. The not-yet-dead Japanese soldiers kept spewing blood from their mouths, mixed with rainwater, and waited for the ground with their feet, trying to crawl to the ground.
bunker.
Bang!
Xia Yuan fired, and the bullet penetrated the Japanese soldier's thigh. Blood spattered, and the Japanese soldier shuddered, hugged his thigh, and let out a shrill scream.
The scholar was stunned, Niu Hai was stunned, Zheng Dayong was stunned, and Platoon Leader Zhao opened his mouth wide, hunched over, pulled the machine gun from the window, and then stared at the hazy rain curtain in the distance.
, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and went to the window again to stare at the Japanese soldier who fell on the ground.
"Grandma, your shooting is so accurate. How come I didn't realize you were shooting so accurately during training before?" Platoon Leader Zhao said in shock.
"In the past, there was no target shooting, so whenever we had the opportunity to show off, the bullets were not given to us until we were about to go to the battlefield."
Xia Yuan pressed the fourth bullet into the gun, filled the magazine, pulled the bolt, took aim, and pulled the trigger on the other leg of the Japanese soldier lying on the dirt. The bullet came out of the gun and hit the Japanese soldier's other leg.
The blood on his legs surged, and the Japanese screamed again.
Everyone watched intently. They had never seen such a method of killing. Looking at Xia Yuan's figure, they couldn't help but tremble.
Platoon leader Zhao didn't say anything and stared at him, "What kind of attack is this? Why don't you kill him with one shot?"
"It would be too cheap to kill him."
Xia Yuan pulled the bolt and took aim without pulling the trigger again, "Kill them cruelly and make the Japanese devils lose their minds. Then we can find an opportunity. Don't think that what I do is cruel. Being kind to the enemy is cruel to myself. Wait for them to enter the country.
It’s even more beastly than what we are doing now.”
Everyone said nothing, just staring at the Japanese soldiers in the distance.
Bang! Xia Yuan pulled the trigger. Everyone held their breath and stared to see where the shot hit the Japanese.
Platoon leader Zhao rubbed his eyes desperately, but couldn't see clearly. He quickly asked Zheng Dayong: "Where was it hit?"
"Platoon leader, I can't see clearly." Zheng Dayong was also rubbing his eyes. It was too dark and the rain had become much heavier. The formed rain curtain and night cover blocked their sight.
"Hit the shoulder, broke his shoulder." Niu Hai stared at the Japanese in the distance and immediately said in surprise.
"Broken your shoulder?" Platoon Leader Zhao stared at the wounded Japanese soldier in the distance who was not dead yet. Suddenly he saw a Japanese soldier rushing over, trying to rescue his comrade who had been tortured and killed.
Whoosh, a bullet passed through the rain curtain and shot into the rain curtain with unparalleled penetrating power. The Japanese soldier, bent over and holding a gun, fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
"Look, we caught another fish." Xia Yuan put away his gun, took out a grenade from his arms, and said, "Okay, it's time to close the net."
He turned on the safety, bumped it against the wall, held it in his hand and counted the time. After about four seconds, he threw it forcefully into the rain and fog that continued to fall on the ground. Boom, everyone saw the grenade thrown by Xia Yuan.
It actually exploded in mid-air without falling to the ground.
This hand shocked everyone again. Everyone looked at Xia Yuan in stunned silence, as if they were meeting him for the first time.
The gunpowder smoke was suppressed by the rain, and there was no wave. The struggling Japanese soldiers made no movement, and were obviously dead. As soon as the rain hit them, their body temperature disappeared quickly, and they became hard after a while.
The Japanese leader was furious. He felt that he was being played by the Chinese people in front of him and cursed loudly.
boom!
"Baga!"
As soon as he cursed, a grenade flew over his head. There was a boom and shattered shrapnel scattered, covering several meters. The three Japanese soldiers hiding behind the bunker died on the spot.
Hearing no movement, Xia Yuan held up his gun and said, "Cover me!" After saying that, he put on his raincoat and got into the rain curtain.
"Cover!" Platoon Leader Zhao shouted and put the machine gun at the window: "Scholar, right? Stare into the distance. If you see the Japanese, use your cannon to hit me. Don't let the Japanese discover Xia Yuan."
"
"Yes!" The scholar lay down behind the broken wall, holding the grenade in his hand, staring at the darkness in the distance, accompanied by the flickering firelight, without blinking.
Xia Yuan held the gun and rushed to the Japanese corpse. He stabbed it in with his bayonet. After pulling it out, he picked up the gun on the ground, removed the bullet from the enemy and replaced it with his body. He then stabbed behind the Japanese.
After groping for a while, he found the can, put it in his arms, and continued to touch the body of another Japanese soldier.
After touching the corpses of several Japanese soldiers, he found that his body was already stuffed with Japanese grenades, cans and bullets, and there was no room for them. As a last resort, he called Niu Hai to help him.
"Go, take these things back!"
"Hey." Niu Hai got back with a bunch of things in his arms.
"What is it?" Platoon Leader Zhao pressed the crooked butt of his rifle against his shoulder and asked without looking back.
"Platoon leader, it's bullets, cans, and grenades." Niu Hai said.
"They are all good things. We pick out the useful ones. Zheng Dayong, go and help Xia Yuan." Platoon Leader Zhao said.
"Platoon leader, I'm going right away."
After cleaning the battlefield, Zheng Dayong followed Xia Yuan back with a lot of things. There were a lot of guns and ammunition, including a crooked handle, some machine gun shells, rifle shells, a grenade and eight artillery shells.
They already possess eighteen grenade shells, two light machine guns, and more than twenty Type 38 rifles.
After killing three Japanese detachments, their weapons and equipment can be equipped to a platoon.
There are also a lot of medicines, cans, lunch boxes, marching water bottles, Japanese army bedding, steel helmets and gas masks.
"The crooked-handle machine gun is very complicated to load and cannot adapt to various complex climates. The failure rate is very high. Let's find a chance to see if we can replace it with our Czech style."
Xia Yuan put the things on the ground, exhaled, and said: "Bring all the useful things with you, and we are ready to leave. The Japanese have suffered such a big loss and will definitely come to us for trouble. If we continue to hold on, we will be ready."
It doesn’t make any sense anymore.”
He didn't want to lead these people to die in vain, so it would be better to change places and fight guerrillas with the Japanese devils.
After everyone heard Xia Yuan's words, they immediately packed up.
"Bullets, gas masks, and food are all necessities. Just one bed is enough. Take whatever you can with you. Pick up important things and bring them with you."
Only then did Xia Yuan discover that after three detachments of Japanese soldiers had been eliminated, there were a lot of trophies piled up in the house, including some medals and watches from the Japanese soldiers. Medals and watches would be good things in the future, but
It's not a good thing now, not even a single bullet is useful.
Carrying the necessities and putting on his raincoat, Xia Yuan walked at the front of the team, followed by the scholar. Niu Hai supported Xu Liuo and walked in the middle of the team. Platoon leader Zhao and Zheng Dayong carried crooked light machine guns and were in charge of the rear of the team.
.
In this way, a group of six people got out of the room, walked along the broken ruins of the street shrouded in rain, stepped on the muddy road, and left half of the collapsed house under the flickering gunfire.
Not long after they left, two Japanese detachments surrounded the place and found the corpses of Japanese soldiers who died in front of the house, lying scattered among the muddy ruins and muddy ground.
"Baga! Attack!"
The Japanese squad leader was furious, cursed, and ordered his Japanese troops to attack the house. Before the attack, they asked the grenadier to fire three artillery shells at the collapsed house. Before the smoke from the shells had completely dissipated,
, the Japanese soldiers rushed forward without encountering resistance, and rushed into the house very smoothly. A group of Japanese soldiers carefully searched the room, and only found a large number of weapons that had been taken off from their soldiers but not taken away.
The loot was there, but most of it was taken away.
The Japanese squad leader walked in and saw the discarded Japanese medals in the room, and became furious.
But their enemies had already fled.
"Brother Xia, where are we going?" The scholar was a little surprised to find that although artillery fire and gunfire were rumbling around the road Xia Yuan led, they did not encounter the Japanese army. You must know that the entire town
Caught in the flames of war, China and Japan are engaged in a fierce tug-of-war here. As more and more troops are invested, it becomes more and more dangerous for them to walk between towns.
If you are not careful, you will encounter Japanese troops who suddenly appear.
They walked for several minutes but did not encounter any Japanese troops.
While the scholar was surprised, he was also eager to know the destination of Xia Yuan's trip.
Xia Yuan listened to the gunfire from all directions, judged the distance, and said to the scholar: "Let's go to the suburbs and leave this town."
Luodian Town is not small. In addition to the center of the town, there are villages of various sizes around it. The area centered on Luodian Town is very prosperous, and the surrounding villages are also very distinctive. Most of them are old houses, which are deep and large.
The buildings along the way are large and deep, and the Japanese army's control will cause a huge obstacle to the Chinese army's attack. Now, a large number of Japanese troops have marched into the towns to fight with the Chinese army. The vacancy for both sides to rush to the battlefield is now
chance of their retreat.
Suddenly, a group of Japanese troops rushed out of the alley in the distance and advanced rapidly along the muddy road. Three Japanese troops rushed in their direction.
"Enter, enter!"
You can hear the shouts of the Japanese squad leader from a distance, and the voice is loud.
Xia Yuan led the scholar and several others to hide among the ruins on both sides of the road, using the collapsed rubble as cover and staring at the Japanese troops in the distance.
"What are the Japanese going to do? There are so many here." Platoon leader Zhao felt a little shocked. In addition to the three Japanese troops who left the team, there were also a large number of Japanese troops rushing to the firefighting area. There must be more than a hundred
Number person.
Platoon leader Zhao felt incredible and very happy: "Our general attack team has arrived!"
"At this point in time, the general offensive has been launched. You can tell it by listening to the sounds of firefights."
"We are getting closer to the fighting zone between the two sides, but how do we get through?"
Platoon Leader Zhao stared at the Japanese soldiers in the distance for a long time, unable to think of any way to get through.
"This is not a fighting area between the two sides. The fighting area is at the back. The Chinese troops will push over. If we pass through now, we will be discovered by the Japanese."
The battle zone was on the Japanese defense line. The Japanese troops appearing in front of us were entirely to block the Nationalist troops and cause certain obstacles to the attacking Nationalist troops. The actual exchange of fire between the two sides was further back, where was the Japanese Army's defense line.
